I don't believe people are resigning out of fear they are going to lose. I don't see much difference between resigning and losing. Either way, they are out of office. I live in Pete Olson's district 22. According to Wikipedia, in the 2016 election, Olson polled 181,864 votes (59.2 percent) to 123,670 (40.5 percent) for his Democratic opponent, Democrat Mark Gibson. That is a pretty comfortable margin of victory IMO.

There is no doubt that demographics will ultimately doom Texas and the country. But I don't think that is why he is resigning. He claims it is due to the health issues of his mother-in-law. My wife is in a Bible study class with his wife, and my wife says Mrs Olson has dropped out of that too.

We need to fight for black votes and legal Hispanic votes. They aren’t all liberals.
